Musings on Books to Video Games and Everything In Between
WOW it has been a minute since I wrote one of these posts! The last one is dated August 2021, which is far too long in my opinion, but I guess holidays being what they are, it was bound to happen. So what on Earth have I gotten up to since my last check-in? Besides... Continue Reading →
Gaming in 2022 is going to be STACKED. Thanks to COVID complications, a lot of big games that were supposed to release in 2021 delayed their releases. I don't fault the developers at all, as I can't imagine trying to make something as complicated as a AAA game when your employees have been working from... Continue Reading →
With 2021 winding down, it's time to start on my Top Five Lists! First up, my Top Five Video Games Played in 2021. Backlogs being what they are, I'm not limiting myself to only games that released year, but anything I finished in 2021. With many AAA games delayed because of COVID, I found myself...

Welcome to another edition of If/Then, where I take two pieces of media and tell you why if you like one, then you’ll probably like the other. This week, we have the book VESPERTINE and the video game ENDER LILIES! If you're interested in more posts like this, follow the link to more If/Then content!... Continue Reading →
During Sci-Fi Month, we celebrate all things sci-fi, and that means video games get some love too! I've decided to round up the games I cannot wait to play in the coming months, from small indie games with big vision, to the blockbuster AAA games I've been waiting literal years for. If you love science... Continue Reading →
Welcome back to If/Then, where I take two pieces of media and tell you why if you like one, then you'll probably like the other. This week, we've got the RPG video game DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN 2 and the book SOULKEEPER by David Dalglish (and the rest of the trilogy). Choosing a fantasy book to... Continue Reading →
Welcome to If/Then, a potential new series where I play around with the age-old recommendation scheme "If you liked X, then you should try Y." For my first outing, I'm discussing the book VELOCITY WEAPON by Megan E. O'Keefe and the video game PREY by Arkane Studios. I'm going to avoid spoilers as much as... Continue Reading →
I've actually been playing a LOT of games lately, in no small part thanks to the magic of Xbox Game Pass. Without sounding too much like a corporate shill, the ability to try out games, especially indie games, without having to lay out more than $15 a month, has opened me up to so many...

It's been a minute since I did a check-in on the video games I'm playing, so I actually have a number of updates! I've played a number of smaller indie games in the last few months, including finishing HAVEN, a mostly interactive novel with some light combat elements, and the puzzle game MAQUETTE. (Unfortunately, my... Continue Reading →
New year brings new games! It's the January lull for video game releases, and due to COVID, I think there's going to be a bit of a drought until the next big game that I HAVE to have. Which is fine because I'm still playing plenty of ASSASSIN'S CREED VALHALLA, HADES, and SEKIRO. I also... Continue Reading →
